Managing the Database of Units

Synopsis

unitmgr file

Description

The uinitmgr program is the "manager" of the database of units and does nothing else than to create a new database `/usr/hl7/lib/codes/units.db' and inserts the definition found in the definition file. All previous contents in the database is lost.

Examples

unitmgr /usr/hl7/etc/units.tab

Environment

PG_CODELIB
The location of the external code databases for LOINC, LabEventInfo and units. This is rarely used, since everyone uses the names compiled into the programs.

Files

`/usr/hl7/etc/units.tab'
the source text of the units database
`/usr/hl7/lib/codes/units.db'
the compiled, hashed file of the units database
`./units.log'
the run logfile

Bugs

Writing errors to the logfile is not useful since this is a program that is normally invoked manually by an operator.

Diagnostics

See the file `./units.log' for error messages
